Particle emission fi lter
saturation warning lamp
(Diesel engine)
With the engine running, this indicates
that the particle emission fi lter is star-
ting to become saturated (exceptionally
prolonged urban driving type conditions:
low speed, long traffi c jams...) or a low
diesel additive reservoir level.
In order to regenerate the fi lter, you are
advised to drive, as soon as possible
when the traffi c conditions permit, at a
speed of 40 mph (60 km/h) or above
for at least fi ve minutes (until the war-
ning lamp is switched off).
If the warning lamp remains on, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Following prolonged use of the vehi-
cle at very low speeds or at idle, you
may, exceptionally, notice an emission
of water vapour at the exhaust during
acceleration. This does not affect the
performance of the vehicle or the en-
vironment.

The four or six speed automatic gear-
box offers, as required, the comfort
of the auto-adaptive programme en-
hanced by a selection suited to dy-
namic driving conditions: sport, or to
driving on a slippery road: snow.
However, manual selection is still pos-
sible using the gear lever. Moving Off
With the engine running, move off from
position
P :

 to exit position P, you have to
press the brake pedal,

 select position R , D or M , then
gradually release the pressure on
the brake pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
To move off from position N :

 with your foot on the brake, release
the parking brake,

 select position R , D or M , then
gradually release the pressure on
the brake pedal; the vehicle moves
off immediately.
Starting the engine

 with the parking brake on, select
position P or N in the gate,

 turn the ignition key. When the engine is at idle,
brakes not applied, if position

R , D or M is selected, the ve-
hicle moves even without the
accelerator being pressed.

Do not leave children unsupervised
inside the vehicle, with position
R, D or M selected, with the en-
gine running, as the vehicle moves
even without the accelerator being
pressed.
With the ignition off, if the le-
ver is not in position P , an
audible signal is heard when
the driver's door is opened, or
after approximately 45 seconds. Move
the lever to position P . The audible
signal ceases.
When maintenance operations need
to be carried out with the engine run-
ning, apply the parking brake and se-
lect the P ark position.

Auto-adaptive programme

 select position D in the gate: the
gearbox operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any action on your
part, taking into account the follow-
ing parameters:
- the style of driving,
- the profi le of the road,
- the vehicle load.
To obtain maximum acceleration with-
out touching the lever, press the ac-
celerator down fully (kick down). The
programme will change down auto-
matically or will stay in the gear select-
ed until the maximum engine speed is
reached.
When the brake is applied, the pro-
gramme will change down automati-
cally in order to provide effi cient engine
braking. Sport and Snow programmes
These are two special programmes.
The programme selected is displayed
on the instrument panel screen.
It is only possible to change
from one gear to another if
the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit. If they do not,
the vehicle will operate temporarily in
automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or mo-
ving very slowly, the gearbox automa-
tically selects gear M1 .
Programmes S (sport) and  (snow)
do not operate in manual gear selec-
tion mode.
Any operating abnormality is
indicated by lighting of this
warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message on the multi-function
screen.
In this situation the gearbox oper-
ates in downgrade mode (locked in
3rd gear). You may feel a substantial
knock when changing from P to R and
from N to R (this will not cause any
damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and
keep within local speed limits.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Operating check
Operation with manual

 pull the lever to the - sign to change
down a gear and pull again to
change down another gear.
You can change from position D (driv-
ing in automatic mode) to position M
(driving in manual mode) at any time.
Releasing the accelerator
sharply does not have any im-
mediate effect on the speed of
the vehicle.
Never select position
N when
the vehicle is moving.
Never select positions P or R
unless the vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to
optimise braking on a slippery surface. Sport programme

 Press button S once the vehicle
has been started in position D , the
auto-adaptive programme favours
dynamic driving.

memorised. The display indicates:
Switching the function off

 Place switch 1 in position 0 or
LIMIT to switch the system off.
Note: It is possible to acce-
lerate and drive momentarily
at a speed greater than the
memorised speed. The value

lerator pedal is released, the vehicle
will return to the memorised speed.
Cancelling the memorised speed
If you wish to cancel the memorised
speed:

 Press button 4 or the brake or
clutch pedal. The display indicates
(e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)):
Activation/memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, press button 2 or 3 . This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically. The display
indicates (e.g. at 70 mph (110 km/h)): On a steep descent, the cruise
control, which does not act on
the brakes, is not able to pre-
vent the vehicle from exceeding
the programmed speed.
In no circumstances does the
cruise control replace the requirement to
respect speed limits, nor does it replace
the need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
We recommend that your feet remain
near the pedals.
Cruise control function
This enables the vehicle to maintain
a steady speed programmed by the
driver
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
25 mph (40 km/h) with at least fourth
gear engaged (second gear for the
automatic gearbox),
with the engine
running .

Note: the speed memorised
is cancelled automatically if
the vehicle speed is less than
25 mph (40 km/h), or if the
manual gearbox is in a gear lower than
fourth (second gear for the automatic
gearbox) or if the ESP is activated. Operating check
In the event of a cruise control malfunc-
tion, the memorised speed is erased,
the dashes fl ash for a few seconds:
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked. Do not use the cruise control
on slippery roads or in heavy
traffi c.
